'To ZZv whom if may concern.'

'vehicles from the wind, my invention relating especially7 to covers for sight openings through wind shields of any ordinary construction, and an object of my invention, among others, is'to provide a durable frame for such an opeiling and cover therefor. i I

One f( rni of wind shield empodying my inventioii and in the constructio i yand use of which the objectsh rein set out, as well as others, may be attai ed is illustratedy in the accompanying draw -ngs, in which,- Iigure'l is a face view of a portion of a wind shield embodying my. invention with parts broken away to show the 'construction'. Fig. 2 is a view in central section on plane denoted by dotted line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3y is a view in section through the cover (looking down) on plane denoted by dotted line 3--3l of Fig. 1.

In theA 'accompanying drawings the numeral 5 indicates a portion of the wind shield of a vehicle, as an automobile, or which may be a window in a. trolleycar, locomotive or other Vvehicle. This shield has an opening G, preferably round, to which a frame composed of rings 7 8 is applied. The hole iii the ringtf is approximately the saine size as the opening (3` andthe ringvS is provided with a iiange 9 turned from its inner edge to pass through the opening G, this flange being preferably of a sizeto tit quite b'close within said' opening. "This flanget may be .continuous as shown herein, or itt may. be otherwise constructed' to pass through the opening (i and through the hole in thelring 7., rlhe edge, or a portion thereof, of this flange is overturned against the outer facc oflie ring T to secure the two rings ii-rnily together and against opposite etlioifent and sides of theshield- In the construction shown' hereinfingers 10 located at suitable intervals apart about the iange are bent ove; against theface of the lring 7 to clamp the two rings'together. i

A cover 11 is formed to close the sight opening 12 through the frame of the wind transparent material asiglass, Celluloid or the like, and a border composed of rings 1el15 the openings -in which are of a size shield. This cover comprises a piece 134 of.t

substantially that of the sight opening 12.

The, rings and piece 13 are vof a size somewhat. larger than said sight opening so that they will thoroughly cover it. The rings 1st-15 are applied to opposite sides of the piece 13 and they are secured together as by prongs 16 passing through the rings from an eyelet 17, the prongs being clenched to secure the parts iirinly together. These'eyelets 17 are preferably7 two in number, they are located at diaiiietrically'opposite sidesy of the rings comprising the border, and as additional means of fastening these rings together a finger or lingers 1S proj ecting from the outer edge of one ring'may be bent over the outer edge of the opposite ring. These fingers may be located in any suitable positions between tlie eyelets. 'Y

Buttons 19 are rotatably secured tov the ring S as by means of studs 2O projecting from said rings. T liese buttons-are oblong .in shape and of a size to pass through the -holes 21, in one position of the buttons, but

they ext-end across oppositeedges of said holes when turned to another po'sition inhamanner common to devices of this class, `andl as shown in Fig.,1 'of the drawings. The invention forming'the subject matter of this application is of thesame character as-tliat embodied in my copendingfapplicfiition filed Jann ry 10, 1916, S. No.\71,165,,thepresent inveittipn residing in a diiferentc. nstruc` tion of the r'ii-gs comprising the frame of the opening luid they horder ofthe cover 'from that illustrated and described in my copending case. y

Vhile I lia/ve shown and described herein a preferred arrangement of `parts embodythe spirit and intent of the invention.

I claim- 5' l A wind 'shieldj having a sightv opening therein. and a' Aframe co1npris1ng..r1ngs 1ocated on opposite sides of the shield' about said opening, one Vof said rings having an extension from' the edge Aof the 'opening therein passing through said sight opening Within the edge thereof, fingers spaced apart about the edge of said extension.v and pro'- jecting therefrom, seid fingers being overturned against the face of the other ring, and a button rotatably vsecuredv Ato one of .said rings.
